The Perdue Victim

This is Andrew Boldt who was a senior in electrical engineering at Perdue University. Andrew was from West Bend, WI and graduated from Marquette High School.

Hardly a gang banger or other person that you lot deem worthy of death, yet he was one of the many thousands killed or wounded by firearms in the United States.

Remember that even "shefearsnothing" was killed by her husband using a gun. Not to mention the judge who restored her concealed-weapon permit last year
questioned her judgment and said she had "scared the devil" out of
other parents at the soccer field.

The ultimate upshot is that the more people who die or are effected from senseless gun violence, the more it hurts your position. It can happen to you whether you own a gun or not. In fact, having a gun makes it far more likely it will happen to you.

Unless they are idiots like you, but the good news is that you are more likely to die from your own weapon than use it on someone else.

In other words, you are a dying breed.

I should also add that this is not "dancing on the graves of the victims"--it's putting a face to the numbers and statistics. Another thing you lot don't like as it is easier to blow this off if you believe all the people who are victimised by this plague are "criminals or gang bangers" rather than a nice guy or one of your own.

It pisses you off when you realise that you are wrong and you have to lash out at everything else besides your bullshit, antisocial beliefs.

Anon, I actually mentioned the typo with no malice. Though since Laci like to refer to people who use firearms by their appearance, body type, gender, and educational level, what makes it worse if I were to do the same thing.

Laci, when you ignore facts, you can claim all manner of nonsense. You ignore the number of people who defend their lives every year--several hundred thousand, according to the National Academies of Science. You rely on flawed studies.

But then you take glee in the deaths of people you disagree with. Can we expect the trolls to label you a "lying criminal ass hole coward"?

Greg says "several hundred thousand" DEFEND THEIR LIVES each year. First of all, the several hundred thousand is wildly exaggerated and secondly, not all of them "defended their lives." Many of them actually did use their guns defensively but their lives were never at stake. The ones who shot at snakes or coyotes count. Plus all the ones who only thought they were in danger count too. The numbers are always based on what the gun owners themselves SAID. There's no evidence, which brings up another interesting thing about Greg. He demands evidence from us, but does not hold himself to the same standard.

This is one of Greg's favorite lies and distortions, all rolled into one.
